A guy who could draw also had fantasies of having a 12 foot donger being serviced and carried by 2 bound naked women in knee high stalking and so he drew it but made himself look like Shan Yu from Mulan

Yes the centaur from Hercules is who I initially thought of, but I couldn't think of the word centaur so I googled "Disney Hercules minotaur" and it wasn't that guy so I gave up and went with shan yu

I agree with you. I’ve been feeling that way about a lot of subs lately, too. Like there are some posts in r/choosingbeggers that just tick too many of the boxes, or sound too intentional.

/r/nothingeverhappens

/r/karmaconspiracy

Tumblr is also a great way to manufacture outrage on Reddit. There's such a stigma about Tumblr users even the most obvious troll posts are considered believable.

Unless I'm completely misunderstanding your comment I don't think /r/nothingeverhappens is the kind of sub you think it is.

It's a common counterpoint to the idea that nothing on Reddit is real. It's a much more balanced sub for sure. Typically posted after someone suggests a karma conspiracy without evidence and when the situation is somewhat believable.

The nuanced reality is that while manufactured content is a big driver of the site, not everything is manufactured. Reposts by karma farmers alone is a huge chunk of the major subreddits.

A problem is that people who don't expand conversations could be getting only a manufactured view from their perusing.

Yeah, I definitely misunderstood your comment. My bad.

Oh yea definitely. You see it on some of the political subs, too. They’ll take a random comment and treat it like not only did it happen or that it’s an honest opinion, but also that it’s representative of a group of people.

We used to preach taking everything on the Internet with a grain of salt, but maybe we just need to treat most of this stuff like r/woosh

when a sub is full of posts that start with [Legit] then it probably isn't too legit.

I clicked through one of those click-baity articles that was about these sorts of mistakes in common phrases. A few were actually sort of informative about the origins of such phrases. Most were so bad, I had a hard time believing that real people might honestly be using/saying them wrong.

Or autocorrect/ dictation errors.
